* **Safer** types.
* Better **performance** and **less energy** consumption.
* Better **extensibility**.
* etc.

...all this while keeping the **same Python API**. In most of the cases, for simple models, you can simply upgrade the Pydantic version and get all the benefits. 🚀

In some cases, for pure data validation and processing, you can get performance improvements of **20x** or more. This means 2,000% or more. 🤯

  // Command is the command line to execute inside the container, the working directory for the
  // command  is root ('/') in the container's filesystem. The command is simply exec'd, it is
  // not run inside a shell, so traditional shell instructions ('|', etc) won't work. To use
  // a shell, you need to explicitly call out to that shell.

- Improve CPU sample sanitization in HPA by taking metric's freshness into account. ([#68068](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/68068), [@krzysztof-jastrzebski](https://github.com/krzysztof-jastrzebski))

- The sample-apiserver aggregated conformance test has updated to use the Kubernetes v1.17.0 sample apiserver ([#84735](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/84735), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt)) [SIG API Machinery, Architecture, CLI and Testing]
